Arndt Halvorson
Halvorson featured speaker
for Spiritual Emphasis Days
The Rev. Arndt L. Halvorson, professor of Homiletics at
Luther Theological Seminary, St. Paul, is the featured speaker
for Augustana's Spiritual Emphasis Days, November 8-11.

Thursday, November 5, 1964
Whalen, professor in the med-ical
school at the State Uni-versity
of Iowa.
ON CAMPUS AS A guest
of the biology department, Dr.
Dr. Whalen asked to appear
before the council because of
his sincere belief in the es-tablishment
of an honor sys-tem.
He was under the system
at Stanford University and
was impressed with the stu-dent
response.
The honor system leaves
any decision to the indivi-dual.
During tests, the pro-fessor
rrives, makes any
necessary remarks and leaves.
Thus, the student is left with
his conscience.
The mechanics of the
.system vary in most colleges.
Some, such as Stanford re-quire
students to sign an
honor code only when they
enter school for the first time.
Other systems require that a
code be signed before every
test and with every paper that
is turned in to the professor.
It is the responsibility of the
student to report the name of
any fellow student who vio-lates
the rules. In regard to
this portion of the system, Dr.
Whalen commented that stu-dents
usually turned them-selves
in to the controlling
board.
IT IS DR. WHALEN'S
opinion that the mechanics of
the system are secondary,
however. It is the spirit that
the use of such a system pro-duces
that makes it worth-while.
The student is treated
as an adult capable of good
j udgement.
Augustana has never used
the honor system. The idea
has been presented in years
before, but due to a lack of
interest it was dropped. Now
because of the stimulus pro-vided
by Dr. Whalen, the
student council is once again
giving serious consideration
to the employment of such a
system. It has been found ex-tremely
effective on the
campuses of St. Olaf, Con-cordia
and other colleges
similar to Augustana.
Students seek
unique role for
church school
Does the church-related
college have a unique function
over against a state school?
Is it performing this fun ction?
These questions are being
asked by a group of 12 Augus-tana
students who will be
attending the ALC student
conference at Pacific Lutheran
University in Tacoma, Wash-ington,
November 26-28.
CAROL GILBERTSON,
Augustana's Conference Co-ordinator,
said that:the con-ference
this year will be a
working conference actively
engaged in discussing the
theme "Church College Com-munity—
Why?" In preparation
for the conference, the group
is • meeting with faculty mem-bers
to gather information for
the conference discussions.
They have already prepared
a working paper which has
been sent to the other ALC
Colleges attending the con-ference.
